I've been having a hell of a time upgrading packages,
I only have a slow, metered phone line at home so I download updates from
work.
I downloaded the new version of wine, and glx-mesa as rpm's.
went to install it them, from rpmdrake and was told there were conflicts,
so i went to uninstall wine-debug and mesa (why it didn't upgrade i don't
know),
wine-debug uninstalled fine, mesa told me there were dependant's.
after a lot of searching for something different, and trying rpm from the
command line, 
I then found KPackager and managed to uninstall mesa without dependants ,
and glx-mesa installed fine, and opengl is now about 4X faster.
(except it does get lost if I change the screen res)

is there an easier way to do this without spending several hours/days on the
phone,
which would probably cost me far more than getting a boxed copy of m$ 2000
enterprise.
(not that i'd want to mind).
